Ive done three further tests and all positive. I've rang 111 (dramatic?!) but they were lovely, a local doctor rang me back.
He said he's inclined to just have me wait for two weeks now until the EPU could see me, as they don't see anyone earlier than 6 weeks.
He was very reassuring. But maybe too reassuring as now I feel my hopes are up! TWW take two 😂

@SarahMumof1DS
Yes , men need time too , sometimes they get a bit forgotten about , my hubby has been ok but he never came with me for the scan as he wasnt allowed so I think that really has been the reason why he has been as badly effected. Give yourselves time , you sound busy with a 2 year old! Xx

@MgW1

Anyone else get cramps week after ovulation ? I have had some cramps although It could be contipation ( stopped caffeine last week and its effected toilet business - sorry if TMI 🙈) always get cramps week before AF I have been preg but not noticed anything after ovulation, unless I am being hyper sensitive - it could be psychological 🙄🤷‍♀️?!!! Xx

I've had cramps a week after ov a few times since ttc. I don't remember getting cramps before ttc either. x

@MgW1 thanks for looking at my chart. It's hard to tell isn't it! My app calculated that I ovulated on cd 16 but that's based on me starting my period today and calculated 14 days backwards. It didn't help that I didn't take my temp on cd13 around the time I often ovulate. Was so hard to pinpoint ov this month. It was a big learning curve this month and I'll make sure I keep temping and logging my CM at the very least. I might keep going with opks too just to collect data for future reference. No we won't be ttc until DH feels ready to again. x

@SarahMumof1DS

That’s rubbish. Has your husband said he wants to take a break from ttc or is that what you think us for the best? X

MamaPheebz · 26/10/2020 20:28

@jessicalouise10

That’s so confusing. I’d call your gp and get them to confirm your pregnancy. They might be able to refer you to the epau to check the source of the bleeding. Xx

MgW1 · 26/10/2020 19:46

@jessicalouise10
Wells clearly positive!
I think if you are pregnant the OPK tests also test positive - something to do with certain hormones , I dont know what. Congratualtions xxx

jessicalouise10 · 26/10/2020 19:23

Ladies!
So a just under two weeks ago I posted about a faint line on a FRER. The day after I started bleeding and this continued until yesterday. It wasn't a lot but still red blood. This was about the time that I should be in my fertile week again, so I've just done an OPK, and it was a blazing positive. Which I thought was strange, so I did a cheapie preg test... and theres a line. Not a bold one. But a line. I'm so confused! I will attach photos below. Help! 😂 waiting to need to pee again to do a clear blue

Emc16x · 26/10/2020 18:51

@MgW1i do...and breast pain. I’ve been in pain for a few days now around my left ovary when I sit a certain way, sneeze or move. It’s so odd. I always get excited thinking it’s implantation or early pregnancy but sadly for me....not yet! My cycle is always irregular so it could be before AF I don’t know. I feel like I look into everything! Xxx

@SarahMumof1DS
Thanks for sharing your temp chart - id guess around day 10? Or 11?
Are you not ttc next month? X

AF officially just arrived. It's for the best. Now I can talk to DH about using protection.

@MamaPheebz I was probably just being impatient. The bleeding has increased more so pretty sure af will be here fully within the next few hours. I think I may have ov on cd16 this month but my chart wasn't easy to work out.

Oh I'm so sorry. That's really good that the doctors treated you so well and it's on record just in case. Hopefully there won't be third time and the next time will be your sticky bean. Don't give up hope, we all have to keep going like you say it's a lottery and we have to be in it, and you might be so close to your sticky bean. 🙏🏻❤️ xx

Morning ladies! AF officially arrived this morning but l'm feeling hopeful about November. This is actually my first proper AF since coming off the pill since august so I'm feeling relieved that I ovulated in October because I really wasn't sure and was getting worried. Question for you ladies - I'm thinking of temping this cycle. I've never done it. What type of thermometer is best to use? Any good brands you recommend?

MamaPheebz · 26/10/2020 13:12

@SarahMumof1DS how confusing for you. Why can’t our bodies just be the same every month. So annoying!

Yeah I didn’t get a positive test until cycle day 34 and it was only faint so I new it wasn’t going to end well. I started bleeding at work 2 days later. The doctors were great and ran some blood tests to confirm it and put it all on my medical records just in case I have another loss. I can’t get any tests or anything until I’ve had three. I’ve kind of lost all hope for a healthy pregnancy now but it’s like the lottery... got to be in it to win it!

I do have my 2 year old son so just have to keep reminding myself how lucky I am.

@MamaPheebz I'm sorry I didn't realise you had another loss. I'm so sorry for what you've been through. Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you this month! x

@MamaPheebz @MgW1 I did a test Saturday was BFN so was convinced I'm not. I'm expecting AF to turn up today as my spotting has slightly increased but it's still watery light red/brown colour. I might do another test tonight or tomorrow fmu if AF doesn't come by today. I don't have any cramping either which I was expecting by now. Maybe I just ov later this month. We DTD on CD9 but I don't know when I ovulated 🤷‍♀️ x

Kg87 · 26/10/2020 11:12

I finally got a peak OPK yesterday and completely negative today so I’m assuming today is ovulation day and I’m on CD22, late ovulation due to PCOS I think, I’ve got another scan at 1pm as my doctor had hoped I would ovulate on CD19 but I didn’t, does anyone know if the doctor can tell you ovulated during the scan? Or can they only tell with the 21 day blood test?

MamaPheebz · 26/10/2020 10:14

@SarahMumof1DS
I don’t know how you are holding off testing. Hopefully the bleeding will stop and has just been implantation bleeding!

I have another week of my 2WW to go so I’ll let you know how it goes. X

MamaPheebz · 26/10/2020 10:13

@SunnydazeQ
I had a missed miscarriage in August and a really early loss this month so I have no idea what my cycles are doing either. I’ve had late ovulation and longer cycles but i’ve ovulated on cycle day 10 this cycle so hoping I’m returning to some sort of normal.
Sorry about your loss and hoping you get your rainbow soon xx

MgW1 · 26/10/2020 09:40

@SarahMumof1DS
Get a test done!!! Xx

Still spotting today light red blood. No AF yet and my temp still hasn't dropped right down yet. Bit of a strange cycle this month. 🤔

@SunnydazeQ weekend was nice thanks, pretty chilled. I hope you had a lovely weekend too. I like doing bits like that sometimes, I painted a mirror that was left in our house when we bought it. It was a tacky gold colour and I painted it satin grey but my DH doesn't like the style of the mirror so not sure if painting it was enough! They left an original 70's cat lamp and kitchen table too and I painted them the same satin grey and they look really nice. My dad just retired from his upholstery business he used to do all that with furniture. A very good distraction for the TWW! I really want to up cycle my clothes, I have an overlock machine but need to work out how to use it! You can find all sorts of good things on marketplace. My DH finds retro trainers online, cleans them up and sells them for more online. x
